Our Mission
Our mission is to help students succeed in high-stakes exams by providing a personalised education that combines expert teaching, small group classes, and family collaboration to unlock their full potential.
We offer a full suite of OC & Selective Test preparation classes, from in-depth theory lessons to realistic mock test sessions, giving students both knowledge and exam-day confidence.
Why Alpha One
Engaging tutors who motivate your child
Our tutors are handpicked from thousands of applicants and rigorously trained in our proven methods, with fewer than 10% accepted.
As OC and Selective Exam specialists who’ve succeeded in the exams themselves, they know how to explain concepts clearly and motivate students to do their best.
Small Group Class Structure
We pioneered the small group class approach in OC & Selective tutoring, refining it over the years to strike the perfect balance: personalised attention with the motivation of peer learning.
Today, it’s the gold standard that other centres try to copy, but no one does it with our level of experience.
1-on-1 After-Class Parent Feedback
Our tutors give parents direct 1-on-1 feedback after every lesson, so you’ll know exactly what your child is doing well, where they need support, and how to help at home.
This consistent communication keeps you confident that your child is making steady progress toward their goal of entering an OC or Selective school.
Exclusive, Up-to-Date Materials
Our in-house materials are updated yearly to match the latest OC & Selective exam trends, so your child always prepares with the most relevant content.
Post-exam surveys show our resources closely mirror the real test, giving students a clear edge and greater confidence on the day.

Yes. Our programs are designed with proven methods that consistently deliver results.
Over the years, we’ve helped more than 3,000 students gain entry into Selective Schools and over 1,000 into Opportunity Classes. In 2024, 81.4% of our Selective students received an offer or reserve, with over 600 subjects placed in the top 10% statewide.
These numbers speak for themselves and behind every statistic is a child whose confidence and ability have grown through our program. That’s why on average, hundreds of families have rated us 4.9 ★ on Google Reviews.
-
Every class is taught by experienced tutors who have excelled in their own academic journeys and are carefully trained in our teaching approach.
We keep class sizes small so every child receives the attention they need. If your child ever needs extra support, our tutors are approachable and will spend the time to make sure they don’t fall behind.
Parents often tell us they’re impressed by how well our tutors connect personally with each student.
-
We understand life happens. If your child misses a lesson, they can attend a catch-up class or receive the class resources so they don’t fall behind.
For students who struggle, our tutors monitor progress closely and adapt their approach to build understanding step by step. Our goal isn’t just to push content, it’s to build confidence so your child feels supported throughout the OC & Selective preparation journey.
On top of this, our tutors are available after every class if you’d like to raise any concerns or get an update on your child’s progress.
-
Our fees reflect the quality of teaching, resources, and care we provide.
Unlike many centres, we keep our class sizes small (8 students or fewer per class) so every child gets the attention they need. We also invest heavily in attracting and retaining the best tutors, offering competitive salaries to ensure we hire the most capable and committed educators.
Many cheaper options offer generic worksheets or minimal support, while we provide structured lessons, detailed feedback, exam-style practice, and personalised guidance. Parents tell us the difference shows up not only in test results but also in their child’s motivation and enjoyment of learning.
We see tutoring as an investment in your child’s future and we make sure it’s one that pays off.
-
We’ve supported tens of thousands of families over the years, and our reputation speaks for itself. Through our quality programs, we have become the leading small group OC & Selective tutoring centre.
With hundreds of Google Reviews averaging 4.9 ★, countless success stories, and strong word-of-mouth from parents, we’re proud to be the centre families rely on year after year.
More importantly, many of our families stay with us year after year because they see the long-term value in their child’s learning and confidence.
